Spent the morning at the mall with our regular group of 5 people. We exchanged Xmas cards and small gifts. Bought some gift cards for others while
there. Went to a noon meeting and
greeted all 20ish men in the room by going around the room and shaking their
hand. Saw my old friend Paul from
Tri-cities who is town for Xmas. He
took me to my only Seahawk game in the new Century Link stadium eight years
ago.
I have always had a problem bonding with other people in my life. In my world-view, I can attribute all personality issues in life
be attributed to nature or nurture. I am
darned sure I missed out on a lot of nurturing throughout my childhood. Part of my recovery is to re-parent my
inner child so that it lives in a much more loving and secure world. That is best done with the help of many
other kind people that love in a healthy way while I reach out to help others. It takes a village.
My relationships with others are now by far and away the best they have
been in my life. I am grateful for
their love and support as they show me how to live.
